Upside For Bapcor

This story features BAPCOR LIMITED. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: BAP

By Michael Gable 

On 1 August, the S&P 500 Index broke its 50-day moving average and we notified our clients on 5 August to dramatically increase cash levels by cutting back on "trading stocks" which are high beta and high in volatility. The performance of share market since then continues to confirm that we need to be patient and not rush into anything yet. 

Despite that, we need to do our homework now and be ready for when we get the next "buy" signal. This week we have analysed Bapcor ((BAP)).

On the back of last week's results, BAP pushed higher on strong volume, breaking what appears to be an inverse head and shoulders pattern. It now looks probably that BAP will see higher levels over the next few months. We would be targeting $7.50 as the major line of resistance. Shorter term, any weakness should ideally be contained to the neckline near $6.40.
